to CTPAHHuK
Отлично. ждем. :)
-
I want to make it too))
But how you change encoding?
I try to do this one, change
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251" ?> in russian.xml and have no resault. Browser detect page as UTF-8 and its unreadable.
Its no problem to translate, but how to change encoding?
Tnx
-
Hi,
I am not specialist in Russian language, although I think of Russians as "brothers".
What I am sure of, is that you do not have to change encoding to something special. UTF-8 encoding supports also Russian language.
-
And just another note.
You may read the following article for more information:
https://www.elxis.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=94&mylang=english
It gives detailed instructions on how to translate Elxis to your language.
-
In that article there is something wrong. You can not name your language files whatever you like (ie german2006.php). Otherway Elxis automatic locale setting will fail and it will be always english. You must follow Elxis guidelines. Open includes/Core/locale.php to see how you must name each language (ie. russian for Russian, not ru! ). Encoding should be utf-8. You dont have any problem with this for any language. Just make sure you save your language files as utf-8 and not ANSI (use notepad++ or PsPad -my favourite).

Good afternoon Eliasan . I ask you to inform where it is possible to send Russian package For Elxis--2006-3.
The package contains three folders (administrator, site, tools.), is executed in UTF-8. The main question,-
Who, as well as than can compensate my work on translation of language.
Regards, Dmitry Solomkin/Russia, Saratov/

Hi sarexs,
This is great news!
You may send your translation at datahell@elxis.org.
As for your question, I think that the best place to ask it, is the Russian subforum.
Unfortunately right now, we have no way to validate it.
-
Congratulations sarexs! You translated even the tools, this is great. We can not validate your translation because we, unfortunately, do not speak Russian. If you think that contains translation errors we must find a way to validate your translation. Otherway we will add it for download as is.

Hello! I try to translate this engine to RUSSIAN LANGUAGE and find problem. Time data in search component not depend from adjustments in language files. And many other modules works in the same way. I think to produce new pack of engine for russian users with translation of all modules.
-
Time adjustment for each language is located inside Gemini language files:
DEFINE('_GEM_DATE_FORMLC', "%A, %d %B %Y");
DEFINE('_GEM_DATE_FORMLC2', "%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M");
Change them to match russian time.
You display the date like this (current date):
mosCurrentDate(_GEM_DATE_FORMLC2);
Any date (you can also add offset):
$date = '2006-05-23 12:45:56';
mosFormatDate( $date, _GEM_DATE_FORMLC2);
You should run Elxis in a UNIX enviroment to see these changes as windows do NOT support utf-8 locale (ru_RU.utf8@euro). In a windows system locale is always set to English and so time appearence!
Elxis has been based to Mambo which did n't have multi-lingual enviroment. Maybe in some places we missed adding time support for all languages. Report this to us to fix it.
Send me what you have translated till now in Russian to see the problem (if exists).
datahell AT elxis DOT org
-
The original search.html.php file exist this strings
<?php
foreach ($rows as $row) {
if ($row->created) {
$created = mosFormatDate ($row->created, '%d %B, %Y');
} else {
$created = '';
}
?>
If I change '%d %B, %Y' to _GEM_DATE_FORMLC2 or _GEM_DATE_FORMLC all works properly?
And I find some bugs. Registration with voice don't refresh after authorization code refreshing.
Problem number two.
(http://www.ableton.spb.ru/media/problem.gif)
-
%d %B, %Y should display a date like this: 04 December, 2006
It is not wise to put there a large formatted date because the column space is short.
What is the second problem??
-
may be the second problem are the table out of the main area, for the collum of how many time the content has been read.
-
This has nothing to do with Elxis, it is a teplate-css related issue.
-
to Sirigos:
Yes, you read my thoughts.
to datahell:
I use this string for my language release: DEFINE('_GEM_DATE_FORMLC', "%d-%m-%Y");. It's universal decision for all languages. What about first problem? With voice engine in registration module?
-
%d-%m-%Y will always (in any locale) display dates like this: 05-12-2006.
Nothing special as you only display digits! You don't need to use mosFormatDate to display dates like this. Of course you can do it, if you wish, but don't expect to see month names in Russian with this format.
mosFormatDate uses strftime PHP function to display days and months names in current locale. But in your translation of _GEM_DATE_FORMLC you just display digits! Read PHP manual for how to format a date to a current locale using strftime.
There is no bug/problem with the security images. Close the popup window, refresh the page and you will have a new security image and a new listening output. If the the sound repeat the old letters check your browser settings! If you are not sure what to do send me a link here to your Elxis site.
-
Sorry, I am not php-master. I am noob. ;)
-
There is no need to be a professional. We are here to help everybody works with Elxis. When you finish the translation you can send it to us to check it and make corrections if needed.
-
I try voice registration on virtual server named Denver. I refresh page, but problem remains.
Problem with tables was problem of my language file. I correct it.
-
Provide a URL to your site to see if there is a problem with the security images. I think it has something to do with your browser but write here a link to your site to check it.

Hello! What variable contains information about current language?
Russian date works properly with next string in elxis.php
$date=iconv("windows-1251","UTF-8",$date);
but english language date disappear.
Linux server no need in this string?
-
Why use iconv???
You must encode your files as utf-8!
Open a text file, write in Russian and save it as utf-8. Finish! Nothing more! It is so simple!
Example, the first string in frontend russian.php should be:
/** components/com_banners */
DEFINE('_BNR_CLIENT_NAME','Вы должны выбрать название для клиента.');
Do you want to translate it myself in Russian and then send it to you to make corrections?
-
We do not understand each other.
-
I don't understand why you ask things that no one said that are required by Elxis.
Elxis just needs a file encoded as utf-8. Then you will have Elxis in russian.
Some information about Elxis language:
- Everything must be encoded as utf-8.
- Loaded language is the value of the global variable $lang in frontend and $alang in backend.
- Language in both front-end and backend is controled by class ElxisLang.
- In frontend Elxis uses PHP constants for the language strings (this done mostly for compatibility with 3rd part modules, components etc).
- In backend object $adminLanguage controls the language strings.
- For XML files object $xmlLanguage controls language strings.
- Gemini files are files that contain constants available in both Elxis frontend and backend.
- Elxis sets 2 cookies to remember user's prefered language: elxis_lang and elxis_alang respectively for Elxis front-end and backend.
- Locale sets automatically regarding the loaded language.
- class eUTF (Elxis UTF) provides support for handling utf-8 encoded strings that are not supported by PHP by default. You call eUTF statically (ie eUTF::utf8_substr(....) ).

Ok. Thanks. I create demo site. Please check the registration form. Voice registration refreshing don't work. http://site.reasonator.ru
-
Voice registration refreshing don't work.
Voice registration works OK with FireFox.
Voice registration works OK with IE. If you have problems, it is because of local settings of your computer. I had the same problem in my computer, but I have seen it working in other computers using IE. I haven't investigated more, because it is a minor problem.
-
In IE6:
1) Press "Create One" in Main Menu.
2) I see, for example, YNJDgN.
3) Press "Spell". Voice talk "YNJDgN".
4) Refresh page. After that I see "fgkjyH"
5) But voice talk "YNJDgN".
In Opera9:
1) Press "Create One" in Main Menu.
2) I see, for example, YNJDgN.
3) Press "Spell". Voice talk "YNJDgN".
4) Refresh page. After that I see "fgkjyH"
5) But voice talk "YNJDgN".
In FireFox 1.5.0.4:
1) Press "Create One" in Main Menu.
2) I see, for example, YNJDgN.
3) Press "Spell". Voice talk "YNJDgN".
4) Refresh page. After that I see "fgkjyH"
5) But voice talk "YNJDgN".
You understand me?
On the official ELXIS site in registration module code not changes after page refresh. And voice talk correctly ;D
